Memories of Summer

Summer gives way to fall.
The seasons ebb and flow and
I continue to give thanks.

I
*L.O.V.E.*
the seasons.

The weather changes and so do the activities.
We look back and wonder where the time went.
How did it go so quickly?

Is it REALLY
"Back to School"?

We embrace the life God gives and the things in it to be done
and we enjoy remembering the moments...

741. Little girl stretched out on her tummy colouring ~
pink socks in the air

742. Quatchi and Mukmuk ~
deeply discounted Olympics stuff

743. The birthday celebrations...Fraser's and Mine

744. The silly moments...

745. Shoes lined up at the front door...
ready to slip on at a moment's notice

746. The continued (maybe?) promise of corn ~
this was a new experience for us


747. Whites on the line ~
bleaching in the sun


748. A "photo moment" with one of God's little creatures...


749. Two oldest helping out with some painting ~
they did a great job too!



750. Two middle children making a tent out of cardboard boxes and
asking to spend the night ~ those crazy kids! :)
Just a side note ~ this box was from our new deck furniture and this
"tent" was created on the night of our "cousin cook-out"...





751. "End of the season" sale on lovely hanging baskets...
about a month ago!


752. Oldest mastering the "art" of reading directions ~
and assembling our new patio chairs mostly on his own...
thank you Austin!

753. Patio furniture found at a "clearance" sale ~
God's blessings!

754. Father and son working together

And the neighbours that hire them! :)



756. Enjoying the new furniture ~

757. A Daddy that will colour with his little girl...precious!


758. Rooftop experiences ~
and thankful that nothing got broken! :)


759. Oldest saying ~ "Mum, this is so MUCH fun...
Dad's playing with us!" ~
An impromtu water fight on a hot summer's day ~
the "little" things!

760. Oldest and youngest boy climbing "the" tree together ~
shared excitement and experiences...conquering fears!
AND again ~ thankful that nothing got broken! :)


**Do you see the little white dot at the top of the tree?
That would be Austin ~
Be. Still. My. Heart!


761. Corinthian Bells ~
Windchimes from my sister...thank you!! :)
